DALY IN CAMERA FARCE

John Daly Heads Back To Clubhouse

As another weekend of professional golf looms (both the Johnnie Walker in Phuket and the Honda at Palm Beach Gardens), us a talesfromthelinks feared that we'd be struggling to come up with a story to keep our viewers amuzed.

Another couple of mediocre golf events..all pretty dull..Fear Not!

Along comes Big John "All my exes wear rolexes" Daly!

After 2 holes at the Honda, JD was forced to retire after an eager fan took his picture in full swing - he stopped his back swing and when he tried to swing again, that was that!

Now if you have ever seen his backswing, it's no surprise that injury followed.

PGA Tour officials said Daly injured his rib area, along with his shoulder although how bad either injury is wasn't known.

Playing partner Ogilvie could only offer the following..."It wasn't good!"

We love big John and wish him a speedy recovery.

We believe he may have another Major in him.

However, whilst his backswing is long, I've seen longer.

There was a guy at our club, and this is no word of a lie, who was forced out of the game for weeks when on his backswing, the head of his driver cracked his left knee (and he was right-handed).

The real tragedy was that despite his "lengthy" swing, if he hit it 200yds he was doing well.

It goes to show length counts for nothing !
